World trade probably has ended its long slide but will be slow to recover .
The moderate pick-up expected in the next few months will be du,; largely to
increased import demand for oil and grain. Trade in manufactures and ind'astriil
raw materials will grow slowly at best if economic activity in-the industrial courtries
remains sluggish, as expected, The volume of world trade for 1975 as a w.)ole
undoubtedly will be below the 1974 level.
Oil trade already has turned up. The oil companies have completed their
inventory adjustments, and a surge in OPEC production -- and exports -- is well
under way. Crude production in July was running 8% above the lows of March
and April. Oil shipments shotdc! continue to rise as cold weather approaches and
economic recovery progresses. The 10% to 15% price hike expected on 1 October
will further push up the value of oil trade.
The poor Soviet harvest is boosting grain sales. Since mid-July the USSR has
ordered about $2 billion worth of grain for delivery through August 1976. Nearly
$800 million worth will be delivered before the end of this year. Moscow's massive
purchases also have raised the price t,iat other countries must pay for their food.
Although the decline in shipments of manufactures and raw materials appears
to have halted, recovery from the present low levels is unlikely to be rapid. The
major developed countries are slowly pulling out of their steep industrial tailspin,
thanks largely to a moderate revival in demand for consumer goods. Substantial
redundant industrial capacity is keeping r?utput of ca ?ital goods on the skids. The
exchange of manufactured products among industrial countries -- accounting for
60% of world trade in these goods -- and their purchas-,s of raw materials from
developing countries probably will remain depressed at least through mid-1976.
Non-oil LDCs and some Communist countries face payments constraints that
probably will require a reduction in their imports from the industrial nations.
Shipments to the LDCs continued at a high level through midyear, despite growing
payments problems.

Western credit has propped up sales to the Communists so far this year. While
the Soviets have no unmanageable financial problems, debt service payments are
getting uncomfortably high for some East European countries. In addition, Eastern
Europe may have to turn to the West for expensive grain that has traditionally
been supplied by the USSR. Both factors will tend to limit their imparts of Western
manufactures.
OP!C imports are continuing to grow rapidly. Vorume is expected to rise
by another 35% this year. Even so, OPEC purchases still account for less than
6% of world trade, and gains here can do little more than offset losses in sales

EASTERN EUROPE*: WESTERN CREDITS
KEEP TRADE DOORS OPEN
East European contracts for Western machinery and equipment soared to a
record $2.2 billion in July 1974 - June 1975, triple the level of the preceding
12 months. East European export earnings in the recession-hit hard currency areas
grew slowly in the same period, with prospects dull for the remainder of 1975.
The growing East European trade deficit is being covered by sharply higher credits
from the West. Expansion of East European imports and borrowing will have to
slow down as debt service ratios approach uncomfortable levels.
Western Credits
Known medium- and long-term Wester.. credit;, extended from July 1974 to
June 1975, totaled $5.7 billion, nearly four times the level of the previous
12 months.
Poland, whose debt has soared in recent years, was by far the largest
borrower, accounting for two-thirds of the total.
Romania and Bulgaria have increased their borrowing sharply despite high
debt service ratios.
East Germany and Hungary, traditionally cautious in their approach to
the West, have also st-.pped up the pace of borrowing.
Czechoslovakia alone appears to be holding back.
Role of West European Governments
West European governments have extended large loans in an effort to enlarge
their share of the East European market.
France - recently the most active lender - agreed in Jure 1975 to
guarantee a new $1.7 billion line of credit to Poland after an earlier
$0.9 billion line was fully committed. The new credit carries an interest
rate of less than 7.5%.

West Germany -- the dominant supplier of goods and credit - has renewed
the interest-free swing credit to East Germany (the value for 1975 is
$265 million) and early this month agreed to a $400 million 2.5%, loan
to Poland. The latter is part of a deal that will allow 125,000 ethnic
Germans to leave Poland and must still be approved by the 13undesrat,
the tipper house of the Gelman Parliament.
The United Kingdom, through its Export Credit Guarantee Department,
has backed $425 mullion in loans in the last year, mostly to Poland.
These actions aim prin:;ipally at long-term market development. A desire to
counteract the slump in domestic and foreign demand has been an important
additional stimulus.
Private Capital Markets
East European governnmoents are borrowing heavily from Western financial
institutions. We estilttate that their net liabilities to Eurocurrency banks reached
$7.5-$8.5 billion. at the end of March 1975. Part of this consists of medium- and
long-term consortium loans, known extensions of which totaled about $800 million
in fiscal year 1975. The East Europeans are generally able to borrow at the same
interest rates paid by creditworthy Western developed countries.
OPEC Lenders
Kuwait and Iran have become active lenders to Eastern Europe in the past
12 :.,oaths. Known credits by the two countries to Eastern Europe total nearly
$700 million: (a) Iran provided $420 million to Romania and $160 million to
Bulgaria in loans, and (b) Kuwait bought $100 million in Romanian and Hungarian
bonds.
International Institutions
Romania - the only East European IMP member - has so far received $290
million in World Bank credits.
US Credits
The United States still plays a small role in total East European borrowing.
Only Poland and Romania are eligible for Eximbank financing.* Romanian
* Yugoslavia, which is not considered in this article, also is eli hlc.

eligibility - suspended under the Trade, Act of' 1974 - was restored in August
1975 when Congress approved the US-Romanian Trade Agreement. Eximbank
authorizations total $124 million to Poland and $47 million to Romania. Private
US banks have loaned approximately equal amounts on the contracts concerned.
In addition, Poland, Romania, and Hungary have received Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) credits for financing agricultural purchases.
The growth in East European imports and borrowing from the West is likely
to slow down. The de;,t service ratios of several of the countries are probably
getting uncomfortable. We estimate that servicing (repayment plus interest) of
medium- and long-term debt now equals about 40%, 35%, and 30% of hard currency
export earnings for Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland, respectively. Furthermore,
worsening terms of trade with the USSR will probably force Eastern Europe to
di
`
vert some potential hard currency earning
'goods to the USSR.
HIGHER OIL BILLS FOR SECOND HALF
The oil bills of non-Communist consuming countries will be $6.5-$7.5 billion
higher in second half 1975 than in the first half. Most of' the increase - roughly
$4.5 billion - will result from a rise in tine volume of imports. The balance will
result from the 10`X, to 15% price increase we expect OPEC to adopt later this
nmonth.
Oil Imports Down
The oil bills of consuming countries !'ell sharply in first half 1975. Imports
were cut to reduce inventories left at high levels by the mild winter in the Northern
Hemisphere and the reduced level of economic activity. Big Seven purchases fell
$5.5 billion from second half 1974. For the OECD as a whole, oil bills dropped
$6 billion. The crude imports of the non-oil LDCs held steady during the period.
Factors in Second-Half Increase
Oil imports are rising sharply now, tc .;udgc from OPEC production and
shipments. We expect OECD imports in the second half to run 2.3 million b/d
above first-half levels: If prices remained constant, the increased volume alone would

add $4.5 billion to OECD oil outlays. We do not believe that the volume of oil
imports by the LIX,s will change appreciably from first?lwE' levels.
The expected rise in OPEC prices by $1.00 to $ !.50 per barrel on I October
will add another $ I.8-$2.7 billion to the OIE(I) oil bil', in the last quarter of 1975 --
$11 to $16 billion at an annual rate.* The Big Seven will absorb $1.141.8 billion
of the fourth-quarter rise. The LDCs, with imports totaling about 3.5 million b/d,
will have to pay an additional $250-$370 million. With a current account deficit
of roughly $21 billion in the first half' - a level we belit-.,r they cannot continue
to finance - the LDCs will be forced to cut back other imports if they are to
pay the higher oil bill.
Implications
The aggregate OECD trade balance will deteriorate considerably in second half
1975 because of the higher oil bills and a probable decline in exports to financially
pressed LDCs. The deterioration will inhibit implementation of expansionary
economic policies in the developed cmuntrics.
MAJOR DEVELOPED COUNTRIES: A MEASURE OF CHANGES
IN TRADE COMPETITIVENESS**
Exchange rate changes since March 1973 have not fully compensated for
inflation differentials among the major developed countries. As a result, the trade
competitiveness of those countries with high inflation rates has tended to
deteriorate, while the position of countries with low inflation rates has improved.
Italy has suffered the greatest loss in trade competitiveness because its wholesale
prices have climbed 69% in the last 2-1/2 years, far outstripping the 21%
trade-weighted depreciation in the lira. At the other extreme, West Germany has
seen its position improve despite a 9% strengthening in the mark; its wholesale
prices have increased a total of 21%.
* Although the price increase will not begin to show up in OPEC receipts for two to three months because
of the lag in payments by concessionaires, the oil companies will begin to pass through the incrase in October;
an estimated two-thirds of OECD purchases in the fourth quarter will carry the new prices.
** This article presents some preliminary insights from ongoing research to determine better ways to measure
trade competitiveness.

Variations in Inflation Rates
Inflation, a serious problem in all
major industrial nations since 1972,
was given a sharp prod by the quadru-
pling of oil prices after October 1973.
Wholesale price increases have differed
markedly among the major countries,
as shown by the following average
annual rates from March 1973
through mid-1975:

We have estimated trends in the competitivei,ess of goods produced in West
Germany, France, I*aly, the Ur.;ted Kingdom, Japan, and the United States by
adjusting each country's trade-weighted exchange rate index by the change in its
wholesale price level relative to the trade-weighted average of its trading partners.*

The resulting index of price competi-
tiveness does not always track well
with movements in the trade balance
of the individual countries because
our methodology does not take into
account other factors, including, for
example, the trade effects of relative
changes in GNP growth rates.
? Rapid inflation resulted in a
steady increase in the com-
parative cost of Italia,:
goods from mid-1973 until
September 1974, despite
depreciation of the lira
throughout most of the pe-
riod. The Italian competi-
tive position thereafter im-
proved moderately as infla-
tion tapered off and the lira
depreciated further. A sharp
falloff in Italian demand
nonetheless was the chief
element in the $3.4 billion
improvement in the Italian
trade balance in first half
1975.
e Because wholesale prices in
the United Kingdom in-
creased at about the same
rate as the average of its
trading partners until the
spring of 1974, sterling de-
preciation led to an im-
provement in the competi-
tiveness of British products.
Since then, inflation has
moderated in most other
countries while British price
increases have continued.

Even though sterling depreciation fell far short of offsetting the inflation
differential, the British trade balance improved in the first half'of this year
because of a marked slump in import demand.
? Although the trade-weighted value of the Japanese yen declined fairly
steadily from the first quarter of 1973 on, the rate of depreciation was
insufficient to offset rapid wholesale price increases through the first
quarter of 1974. Since April 1974 the Japanese competitive position has
improved as inflation abated and the yen continued to depreciate. This
trend, together with slumping Japanese demand, brought a shift in the
trade balance from a $1.2 billion deficit in first quarter 1974 to a $1.9
billion surplus in second quarter 1975.
? French competitiveness generally deteriorated from early 1973 until
mid-1974 as the rise in wholesale prices outstripped franc depreciation.
The French position then apparently improved from mid-1974 until early
1975, when the franc began to appreciate. The results of our computa-
tions on France should be treated with caution; we doubt, for example,
that the rapid decline in the wholesale price index in recent months
reflects the real trend in the price of French exports. Non-agricultural
primary products and intermediate goods are heavily weighted in the
wholesale price index but are not important French exports.
? The West German competitive position has improved by more than 5%
since March 1973. Bonn's superior success in controlling inflation has
more than offset the 9% appreciation of the German mark. The decline in
West Germany's huge trade surplus in first half 1975 was largely the result
of soft foreign demand for investment goods, which weigh heavily in
German exports.
? The competitive position of the United States improved from the spring
of 1973 until US wholesale price inflation relative to its trading partners
got out of hand in second quarter 1974. By last fall the price increases and
some strengthening of the dollar had wiped out the earlier gain.
Thereafter, US inflation just about matched the average of US trading
partners and the dollar declined somewhat through mid-] 975, bringing US
competitiveness back to about the same position as in early 1973.

LDC LIBERALIZATON REQUESTS
The LDCs are submitting a growing volume of requests for trade liberalization
to GATT negotiators in Geneva. Participants in the Multilateral Trade Negotiations
had agreed in Tokyo in 1973 to "treat tropical products as a special and priority
sector." The request lists received so far indicate that a number of LDCs have
interpreted tropical products as anything they export.
The 20 request lists so far received by the United States cover more than
4070 of the value of all US imports in 1974. If requests for liberalization of
manufactures and petroleum are excluded, the remaining requests cover less than
15% of total US imports. Noncompetitive items for which action is requested
account for only about 3% of US imports. Most of the submissions received so
far request reductions in Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariffs or inclusion of items
in the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).
